PAO CAVE 3: Chimney Cave (Koh-i)
29.360000,66.786100
Description
A solutional feature without known local name (note 1) formed in the Chiltan Limestone, obviously a relic of a much larger system which has taken moving water in a distant past, is situated above the 2nd Pao Cave (arched entrance, funny title: Pidati Maran Ghara). CAVE DESCRIPTION: A short but delicate traverse / climb reaches the obvious entrance (5 m wide, 8 m high). After 12 m the passage size increases substantially (4 m wide, 12 m high) and a second passage from a higher entrance joins from the left (as you look into the cave). The cave swings right, ascends a 4 m climb and runs for another 20 m before closing. A steeply sloping passage enters from a high (difficult to read: 310 ? TAO ? JAO ?) window / exit to the left. A pit has been dug in the soft silt / sand at the far end of the cave [indicating an archaeological trial pit or hinting to treasure hunters?]. CAVE POTENTIAL: : Little prospects of further extension (mostly after Brooks, S J s.a. = circa 2000.10.13; BROOKS 2001b:26; CHAMBERS 2001).26; CHAMBERS 2001).
